Freshman

Due to the NCAA's new rule, a player can play in up to 4 games and still receive a redshirt designation.

11 of Miami’s 23 true freshman had previously played in 5 games and have burned their redshirt this season. They are: Hightower, Wiggins, Jordan, Mallory, Scaife, Ivey, Blades, Baxa, Lingard, Silvera, and Hall.

Of the rest, only Mark Pope played against UVA.

Here's a chart to keep track of how many games the UM freshmen still eligible for a redshirt have participated in so far in 2018 (data is from UM's own official participation charts).

The rule does not only apply to true freshmen, though. Here are the non-freshman UM players that have yet to redshirt in their career and have played in 4 or less games this season, making them technically still eligible to redshirt this year.

From last week, both Jaquan Johnson and Zach Feagles played in their 5th game and burned their possible redshirt this season, while Charles Perry left the team.
